鹪鹩王国 · 12 The Sorcerer's Shadow
CHAPTER 7
Magical Mystery Tour Lucas and Clara wandered the foggy streets of Trellis in search of strange things, while Ruskin refused to leave the castle. The dragon was disturbed by the unnatural weather. "How are we going to find any clues in this?" Lucas asked, brushing away the mist as if it were cobwebs. "Maybe the fog is one of our clues," Clara said. "What in all of Wrenly could cause such strange weather?" Lucas turned in a circle, listening for the sounds of the city. "You know what else is odd?" he said. "I can't hear any street noise. I don't think there's anybody out here
today except us. Maybe Ruskin was smart to stay behind." No sooner had Lucas spoken those words than somebody bumped into Clara. "Sorry," said a boy's voice. Clara recognized the shadowy outline of shaggy hair. "Petros!" she cried.

Petros squinted through the fog. "My friends from yesterday!" he exclaimed. Then he looked down at his feet in shame. "Oh no. Now I've hurt even those who were nice to me." Lucas patted Petros on the back. "It's not your fault. It's this fog." Clara laughed. "Lucas is right. I can barely see my hand when I hold it out in front of me."
Petros smiled, and as he did the fog began to lift. The storefronts and tree houses became visible again. "How's your mission going?" he asked. Lucas frowned. "We had to stay here. The head knight thought it was too dangerous for children. Even Ruskin decided to stay at the castle." Petros nodded sympathetically. "If you are free, then shall I show you around Trellis?"
